True, Tchock and guns tend not to cross paths.
I've had them pointed at me, and that's enough!

Yeah - but I don't think anyone had the intention of beating the man to death. Thats the issue here. They probably just wanted to kick the crap out of him and leave it at that. But suppose a few of those people where armed. The fear of assualt with a deadly weapon would have swayed their opinion to make sure they would have stayed out of anything to do with beating that man. With a firearm, and a license to carry concealed comes a responsibilty. On top of that, if you have your license, you automatically think twice about anything that can jepordize you license to carry and losing it over being ticked at someone for an accident is again, not a smart thing to do.

However, this is a racially motivated deal here it looks like - Mexicans vs. black people. There is major tension between those two races for some reason. Never quite understood it myself.
